Custom range of prepregs for Aerospace
Advanced Composites Group Ltd. (ACG), part of the Composites Division of Umeco plc, manufactures a range of aircraft interior prepreg materials which are qualified to Airbus specifications.
ACG's wide range of prepreg products includes epoxy, phenolic, and bismaleimide (BMI) resin systems that are supplied in a number of different formats and fibre reinforcements, such as carbon, E, R and S glass.
For aircraft interior applications, ACG's prepreg materials exhibit excellent fire performance characteristics that enable components to meet mandatory regulations, such as the Federal Aviation Authority's FAR25.853 and Airbus ABD0031 directives. ACG's phenolic prepregs are widely used in passenger cabin interior applications for components such as side wall and ceiling panels, partitions, and modular fittings, including lavatories, galleys, wardrobes and overhead luggage bins, where they exhibit remarkable stiffness even at minimal weight, which is particularly true for honeycomb-cored parts.
ACG's phenolic prepregs exhibit low heat release, as well as minimal emission of smoke and toxic gasses.
ACG also offers prepreg materials exclusively manufactured for other interior fittings, such as seat outer shells and inner structures, air ducting and mixers, cabin and cargo flooring, and cargo liners. The range includes high tack adhesive epoxies, high service temperature BMI and phenolics.
From its prepreg manufacturing facilities in the UK and the USA, the Group services all markets by delivering bespoke products to short lead times, a service which is supported by a global network of dedicated sales and support agencies.
